Im in desperate need of refurbishment. So someone please help!!!

Preferably in the South-east region

That dont look bad mate! Clean it hehe.

That pic is prob one of the better wheels. a couple of the others are corroding a bit like.

Just out of interest how much is a set of willy wheels worth in decent condition?

 

[Illusion]

I dunno how much a set would be worth mate, search the forum to see if anyone has sold a set.

Far as i know, a new set from Speedline is 900 squids - ouch!

 

[Paul16V]

Feck hehe. think im gonna get em minted and keep em. They are nice rims.

I looked into getting my parents alloys refurbed on their Corsa and we were quoted around £40 per wheel

 

[Illusion]

who quoted u 40 notes?

The trouble with getting them re-furbed is being able to match the colour, depends how fanatical you are but the perfectionists out there would not be happy with a different shade of gold.
Also, the places that do re-rurbs dont like doing the silver rim as it is just lacquer on the diamond cut metal and means they are very prone to corrosion, as we all know! If they will do you the silver rim they more than likely will not guarantee the wheels as usual.

Paul,
Speak to me on MSN, i had some done in silver.



Mat.

 

[Paul16V]

I can get em done for £25 a wheel but thats only silver.

 

[Paul16V]

Sendin you messages mate. you there? hehe

I wanted to get mine done in silver diamond cut but i havent got the funds yet!

 

[Paul16V]

I never have the funds hehe. Just have to go into the overdraft though. Im seriously tempted to sell my 17s and just have these wheels on if i get em refurbed though.

These guys knew all about the diamond cut on Willy wheels and including taking off and refitting the tyres quoted me £195 for a set of four.

Hope this helps,

Bill

cheers mate. Not too bad. I know of someone selling a set of willy wheels local to me if anyones after a set.

RenWill how did the colour match come out? Essex is a bit far from me but if they do it correctly id probably go for it.
